Enjoy an earth-friendly getaway - we pick the best festivals, organic farm projects and eco retreats<p>"You can't take that shampoo," I tell my wife as she chucks her normal brand into her bag. "It has to be biodegradable. Otherwise, it will upset the organic water filtration system." It's safe to say that my wife is not as enthusiastic as I am about staying in a Norman eco-gîte. She's seen the pictures of the glass and earth building on the website and is not impressed. </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/top100flightfreeholidays.green">Continue reading...</a>Top 100 flight free holidaysTravelGreen travelShort breaksPortugal holidaysSweden holidaysSpain holidaysCopenhagen holidaysCzech Republic holidaysGermany holidaysTuscany holidaysGreece holidaysSat, 26 Apr 2008 15:33:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/top100flightfreeholidays.greenPhotograph: Kevin TelferGreen grass of home ...

From a 10-day hike in Ireland to a month-long pilgrimage trail to Santiago de Compostela, here is our pick of the best walking holidays<p>You'll need both swimsuit and hiking boots to make the most of this 509km trek. Following Turkey's southern coast from Fethiye to Antalya, it passes white sand beaches, unspoilt villages, and sites such as the ancient Lycian city of Myra. Leave a month for the full thing (see <a href="http://www.lycianway.com">lycianway.com</a>), although most people break it down into week-long sections, camping or sleeping in rustic guesthouses, such as The Watermill in Faralya (<a href="http://www.natur-reisen.de">natur-reisen.de</a>, €43pp pn).</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/top100flightfreeholidays.walkingholidays">Continue reading...</a>Top 100 flight free holidaysWalking holidaysAdventure travelGreen travelBudget travelTurkey holidaysSpain holidaysIreland holidaysFrance holidaysItaly holidaysHotelsTravelTravel and transportGreenhouse gas emissionsCarbon footprintsEthical and green livingClimate changeEnvironmentHealth and fitness holidaysTransportUK newsSat, 26 Apr 2008 11:50:21 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/top100flightfreeholidays.walkingholidaysPhotograph: The Irish Image Collection/Design Pics/CorbisBest foot forward ... spectacular scenery hiking the Kerry Way in Ireland.

Cycling is healthy, environmentally friendly and economical. Jump on your bike and cycle to France, Spain or Holland<p>The quickest cycle trip to the continent is to sail to Calais. Turn right off the ferry and you'll soon find yourself meandering along the dramatic white cliffs of the Côte d'Opal above stunnning sandy beaches. A leisurely three-day circular ride will take in fishing villages, local markets and historic sites in Calais and Boulogne. The ferry crossing costs from just £12 each way for you and your bike (0871 222 2500, <a href="http://www.seafrance.com">seafrance.com</a>) making this trip not only easy and green but cheap too. </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/top100flightfreeholidays.cyclingholidays">Continue reading...</a>Top 100 flight free holidaysCycling holidaysAdventure travelGreen travelFrance holidaysSpain holidaysNetherlands holidaysTravelTravel and transportGreenhouse gas emissionsCarbon footprintsEthical and green livingClimate changeEnvironmentHealth and fitness holidaysTransportUK newsFri, 25 Apr 2008 23:07:27 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/top100flightfreeholidays.cyclingholidaysPhotograph: PRChain gang... they say there are more bicycles than residents in HollandPhotograph: PRChain gang... they say there are more bicycles than residents in HollandGuardian Staff2008-04-25T23:07:27ZEasy to reach beacheshttps://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/100flightfreeholidays.beaches
From long stretches of fine sand to networks of cycle paths, some of the best beaches are just a train ride away...<p>The island of Sylt is a favourite holiday resort for Germans, but rarely visited by Brits, though for no good reason when it has wide sandy beaches, 200km of walking and cycling trails and dozens of seafood restaurants in its pretty towns. The Long Island House Sylt in the main town Westerland is a good example of the island's laid-back style. </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/100flightfreeholidays.beaches">Continue reading...</a>Top 100 flight free holidaysBeach holidaysGreen travelShort breaksTravelGermany holidaysFrance holidaysSpain holidaysBelgium holidaysCorsica holidaysHealth and fitness holidaysFri, 25 Apr 2008 23:07:26 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/apr/26/100flightfreeholidays.beachesPhotograph: Christophe Boisvieux/CorbisPlage de la Courtade, Porquerolles, France.
